This class is an alternative window class for MUI. The standard one
is very awkward in certain situations, especially with small windows.
You know the problems: a window is not draggable because border gadgets
have 'eaten' the titlebar or it looks extremly ugly with borders and
gadgets bigger than the usable area!
The CompactWindow.mcc solves these problems:
- it uses Tiny Font for titlebar so it can fit even in small windows
(don't forget to set tiny font in MUI prefs!)
- titlebar can even become vertical when the window is narrow
- no additional gadgets
- no useless borders
- entire border can be used for sizing
- context menu gives additional functionality in place of
missing gadgets
- close and size gadget can be disabled
- you can set preferred titlebar type (horizontal/vertical)
